Presentation
This paper reports a 13-year-old female patient who presented oligodontia with absence of twelve permanent teeth. [austinpublishinggroup.com]
Mild attrition was present with mandibular molars (Figures 1(a), 1(b), and 1(c)). Radiographic Findings. [hindawi.com]
Population studies on the prevalence of hypodontia suggest that majority (more than 80%) will present with one or two congenitally missing teeth and only less than 1% will present with six or more missing teeth [10]. [omicsonline.org]
Anodontia of deciduous and permanent dentition in mandibular arch, as observed in the presented case, is rare. Hypodontia presents with varied manifestations. [contempclindent.org]
Similar findings have been observed in the present case report. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
-
Collapse
The twins had nearly identical severe bite collapses with the mandibular teeth completely overlapping the uppers. Since early childhood, the boys had been followed by the dental department of a pediatric hospital. [dentistrytoday.com]
Skin
-
Blonde Hair
The child had sparse, fine, blond hair, especially at the temple area and eyebrows. The lower facial height decreased due to an over closed profile, making the lips appear prominent. Examination of nails revealed no abnormality. [contempclindent.org]

Neglect
Oligodontia condition should not be neglected as it may result in various disturbances like abnormal occlusion, altered facial appearance which may cause psychological distress, difficulty in mastication and speech. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Oligodontia condition should not be neglected as it may result in various disturbances like abnormal occlusion, altered facial appearance which may cause psychological distress, difficulty in mastication and speech especially during the formative age. [omicsonline.org]
Treatment
[…] for the treatment. [oralhealthgroup.com]
Mucosa borne removable prostheses are the commonly selected treatment options for the young patients who present with oligodontia or anodontia. [contempclindent.org]
For the prosthetic treatment planning; patient’s age, expectation of treatment of the patient, the condition of retained primary teeth, the number of missing teeth should be taken into account. [pulsus.com]
Heuberer et al. [19] proposed dental implant treatment as viable treatment alternatives for compensating oligodontia in adolescents. [omicsonline.org]
The restorative dentist must often act as a quarterback1 to coordinate multidisciplinary treatment approaches to patient care. [dentistrytoday.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis With proper dental treatment, patients can have normal dentition and orofacial functions The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]
Because of the need for significant periodontal destruction before the involvement of furcation, taurodont teeth offers favorable prognosis from periodontal viewpoint. [15] In the permanent dentition, hypodontia was observed ranging from 1.6% to 9.6%. [jdrr.org]
Etiology
The exact etiology for oligodontia is unknown. Management includes various restorative and orthodontic procedures to improve the esthetics and function. [banglajol.info]
This case report describes concomitant occurrence of tooth agenesis and taurodontism in a young Saudi girl and a brief review regarding the etiology, clinical features, and therapeutic aspects of have been mentioned. [jdrr.org]
The precise etiology of congenitally missing teeth is believed to originate from environmental or genetic factors during dental development. [dentistrytoday.com]
Although defects in certain genes have the highest incidence, etiological events in prenatal and postnatal periods have also been blamed for anomalies in tooth number, dimension, morphology, position, and structure [2]. [austinpublishinggroup.com]
It occurs with other dental anomalies such as microdontia, taurodontism, talon cusp, macrodontia, and gemination.[10] No definite etiologic relationship was found between oligodontia and systemic diseases or endocrine disturbances. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
Supernumerary and congenitally missing primary teeth in finish children: An epidemiologic study. Acta Odontol Scand. 1981;39:83–6. [PubMed] [Google Scholar] 5. Silvameza R. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Summary Epidemiology The prevalence of isolated oligodontia is unknown. In European populations the estimated prevalence of both syndromic and non-syndromic oligodontia varies from 1/625 to 1/1,250 depending on the studies. [orpha.net]
Prevention
Prevention n/a Treatment Prevention of tooth loss through caries, periodontal disease and trauma. Multidisciplinary approach with Paediatric, Orthodontic and Restorative specialties. Management varies with stage of dental development. [en.wikipedia.org]
The diagnosis of hypodontia should be performed as early as possible in order to prevent aesthetic and functional problems in dentition. [ispub.com]
Developing malocclusion can be prevented if this condition is recognized and intervened in the earlier phase. Age of the patient plays a significant role in the management of the patient. [jdrr.org]
Early recognition is vital to provide adequate treatment and prevent squeal. Multidisciplinary referral or consultation is thus important in treatment planning to improve function and esthetics. [hindawi.com]
